HELP!!! I just dropped out of middle school to get homescholed and now my father wants me back in school!!!!!!

Question

I need advice on homeschooling ASAP!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Go back to school. If you're being bullied either report the bullies or switch schools.

Answer 2

it's been porven that home schooling you do learn more. so the other answers are saying you don't learn as much NOT true. however, if your dad is saying to go back to school then you should respect his dissection. but i think before you do anything you defiantly talk with your dad and tell him your side of the story; because not talking it over seems to be the same way you got into this mess. best of luck!!!!!!

Answer 3

First it depends on who has custody, your father could have a say, but he'd have to press it in court.

If you're doing good in homeschool that's a good issue point.

A lot depends on your age too, over 14 many courts will hear your views as well.

Answer 4

Okay, you didn't drop out of middle school. You might have switched from school to homeschooling, but you didn't drop out.

As for your problem, you haven't given enough details. What sort of advice? Your father wants you back in school--does that mean he's sending you back but you want to stay in homeschooling? Did he have a say in having you homeschool in the first place? There's really not enough information.

My advice: give more information so people can try to help you.

Answer 5

SMART MAN!!!!

Answer 6

Well there must be a reason. Homeschooling only works for students who are willing to apply themselves. If you homeschool and slack off, of course a responsible parent is going to notice and either get you on track, or realize it isn't working out and want you to go back to public school.

Answer 7

sorry but Id go back to school....

Answer 8

As I've read through the other responses I've been very disgusted with the answers.  Most people don't understand what homeschooling is OR any of the benefits.  To let someone stay in school where the atmosphere is negative is nuts.  To say that's what they need because the "real" world is that way is not necessarily true.  Yes there are awful people out there but to say that homeschoolers won't know how to deal with them is ridiculous.  Homeschoolers learn more compassion, patience and tolerance of others because they aren't faced with a constant war everyday.

BUT...you need to respect your parent's decision.  Have you sat down and explained to him what your situation was at school?  Show him how much you've learned at home with your mom and how much happier you are.  You have to prove to him that this is something that will be an improvement over public school.  You need to remember that public school is all he knows (most likely) and it's hard to understand what you don't know.  You need to be completely honest and show him how hard you will work to make this the best decision.

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 9

Answer 10

im in 7 grade and have been homeschooled all my life, now my parent want to send me to school so i know the feeling, um. try your hardest and talk to your dad how you feel about it all, i know its not that easy but show your dad how much you wana stay homeschooled and that might help

Answer 11

A public school education helps you learn interaction with other people.  This is VERY important, more so than the drivel that you are spoon fed in classes to make you into a content farm or factory worker.

I'm curious how you got into this situation...did your dad decide to homeschool, then withdraw his approval?  Or was it something else?  Parents who intend to homeschool need to be certified by the state, so you can not unilaterally decide to be homeschooled.  The curriculum administered by the parents must be approved by the local board of education.  When homeschooled, you must meet test standards set by your board of education.

Without your parents' absolute dedication to homeschooling, you, unfortunately, are a public school student.

Answer 12

Homeschooled students perform better academically and socially that public school students.  

Here are some statistics you can share with your father.

Talk to him about why you want to continue homeschooling.  Ask him what his concerns are and see if you can find ways to address them.  Also ask if you can have a year or so trial period.

Answer 13

Well homeschooling you dont get the education that you need. For instance at  a regular school you dont understand something you have a teacher there to explain it. But as for homeschool you dont have nobody there to explain it like a regular school. So you dont learn anything from homeschool. Your father wants you to go back to school because he wants you to learn and be smart. Hope this helps!!! and good luck going back.

Answer 14

cool

go back to school

theirs ur answers

duhhh

that solves everything!

Answer 15

If you feel better off homeschooling then explain that to your father.  If you had bad grades in public school and good grades in homeschooling, show him.  Explain to him that your experience in public school was not exactly the best thing.

Answer 16

OBVIOUSLY no one out there has ever been homeschooled before!!! I have been homeschooled for all of my education! It is the best decision my parents ever made. I have had a great education, my parents always helped me if I didn't understand something. I know for a fact that the teachers in public school don't have time to work with their students one on one to help them understand the material! I have also been accepted to college and given a scholarship! So if there is any question about what is the better form of education, homeschooling all the way!

Anyway I believe that if your father wants you back in middle school, you should respect his decision. But do sit down and talk with him and make sure you expressed your opinion. If in the end your father still thinks that sending you back to public school is the right decision, then make sure you get help for the problems you are faced with. I have been in the same situation, even as a homeschooler. Adults really do help if you explain the problem.

Answer 17

You need to talk to your father and see why he wants you back to school.

You don't need to come back to school if you can demonstrate that: 1) You are learning at your own pace and using better your learning style. 2) You are committed to study at home and not just play or fool around for hours (it may be the reason your father wants you to go back, if he watches you playing and fooling and not studying) 3) Your mom is on your side and she can help with the learning process 4) You are emotionally and socially better at home (because of the bullying, teasing and other bad socialization issues that happen at school, not only from peers, but from some teachers too).

The best way for your father to understand what you need and what is better for you is to listen to his reasons and then clarifying his doubts and worries and telling him how you feel and how you think homeschooling is a good option for you.

Good luck
